How to find my cars original factory spec

[bxlbaz]

Hi all,
Is there a way to find out my cars factory build spec, I seem to remember seeing something in one of the forum but I can't now locate it

Thanks for any pointers you can give

Barrie,
Might be best to make the same request on the TVRCC site.

I think they have an archive section and you could post there.
Also, "potato muncher" on here works at S&D is ex-factory paintshop, and he might help?

Contact retrowheels on here. Give him your original reg, chassis number, model, and year of manufacture and he should be able to give you all the info you need

Thanks to you both

Hi all,

I spoke with Darren, what a really helpful guy. Unfortunately he didnt have any info as his records stop at 1999 but I'm always amazed how friendly TVR owners are and how they are always willing to try and help each other out

Cheers

Barrie

darrens a helpful fella, it only took him about half an hour to find & email me my original spec sheet, i had been trying to track it down for 4 years!! shame he didnt have yours, have you tried tvr power? i think they had some records as well?

[bxlbaz]

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give them a try

I believe the TVRCC have them up to 2003 so I'd suggest you contact Richard Sails the archivist.

Thanks I'll give the tvrcc a go as well.

Thanks Chaps.

Just for info ,the build sheets i have are..

Chim : Very early .ie first 1250 cars then skips to a lot of 98, 99 production.
Griff : '97 to '99 - most.
Sagaris : All build sheets AFAIK
Tuscan Conv : All
T350 : Most, if not all.
Tuscan SP6 : Lots from '01 to unfinished '06
Tamora : The majority AFAIK
Cerb : No vehicle build sheets,but engine spec sheets for the first 250 units.

None of the factory vehicle build sheets have key numbers or engine numbers.

If it's your car (i need to be happy that this is the case) , and you want a copy i will gladly scan and email one to you, done this for quite a few owners on here.

If you need some Original spec info on a car that you're looking at buying, i will check the records and let you know the basics without scanning a build sheet.

That sounds like it could be an interesting addition to my history file What info do you need from me for a T350?
